Travel Tuesday : i ♥ NY

Join me while i sing a line of jay-z's hit song "empire state of mind". Ready? Waiiiit! I think i saw my sister with a big STOP sign on her forehead. Hahaha. Well, i can sing but i couldn't really carry a tune. :) so, lemme just share my NY experience to you. But first lemme shout "New York, New York!".

and because NY is colder than NJ, a winter outfit is a must.
            • winter jacket  
            • undershirt 
            • boots 
            • a trusty leggings 
            • uber excited self 
 

 NY has always been on top of my list for my to-go-places. The movies and some tv shows may have featured it a gazillion times but i never get bored of this city and at the back of my mind,i would always say "one day". The day has finally come. NJ and NY are like sisters, it's kinda connected to each other. It's only a 20-minute drive from NJ which makes labangon to lahug(both in Cebu) farther by comparison.hahaha... The empire state building stands tall and is really a sight to behold from afar, it always feels like it's waving at me saying "come to NY!".  It's surreal when i finally set foot in the Big Apple.If what you saw on the big screen made you fall in love with NYC, you will really fall head-over-heels when you come and see it by yourself. I haven't seen all of NY yet but i promised myself i will come back for more.

the real yellow taxi. 

we took the  hop-on,hop-off tour bus. the ticket we bought was for the 48-hr trip. a good way to see the city.
 

 sucha beautiful day to explore the city.

skyscrapers in all forms

  Trump hotel.  Guggenheim Museum.Julliard School.

i love how they were able to preserve the old buildings. 

 Times Square is a tourist's must-see. Billboards everwhere and each billboard costs $50,000 per day.  Imagine how much the owner earns each day.
